ActivityPub and the 'Fediverse' are a lot like FidoNet in a way; A bit scrappy, open protocols, various "kludges", etc. 

https://activitypub.rocks/ is a good place to get the gist.

Enig won't (currently) do anyting to get the messages to other boards directly, unless those boards support ActivityPub as well. At some point I may see if it's possible to bridge some e.g. FTN areas <> AP, but it may be a bit tricky, I'm not sure. If your board is a member of the Fediverse/ActivityPub in some way, they can communicate though.
